POMS 22 nd Annual Conference Reno, Nevada, U.S.A. April 29 to May 2, 2011 Abstract: MTS-MTO system is suitable where standard modules are shared by various finished products through divergent finalization. The system can satisfy product variety by taking advantage of flexibility of MTO, but its performance is lowered when the capacity is constrained. One way of dealing with the problem without ...

A new myeloid cell line, MTO-94, was established from the bone marrow of a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). MTO-94 cells matured in culture medium without the addition of growth factors, and yielded neutrophils with pseudo-Pelger Huët anomaly or hypersegmentation until 6 months. Ten months after the start of cell cultivation, MTO-94 consisted of myeloblasts. Surface phenotypes were ...

This study focuses on 540 households originally living in public housing in high-poverty areas of Boston who participated in HUD’s Moving To Opportunity (MTO) demonstration. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Experimental – offered mobility counseling and a Section 8 subsidy valid in a 1990 Census tract with a poverty rate of less than 10 percent; Section 8 Comparison –...

2,4,6-Triamino-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO) and 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO3N) were suggested by Klapötke et al. as candidates for green high energy density materials (HEDM), but a successful synthesis has not yet been reported. In order to predict the properties of these systems, we used quantum mechanics (PBE flavor of density functional theory) to predict the mos...

Major problems of cancer treatment using systemic chemotherapy are severe side effects. Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) employing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) loaded with chemotherapeutic agents may overcome this dilemma by increasing drug accumulation in the tumor and reducing toxic side effects in the healthy tissue. For translation of nanomedicine from bench to bedside, n...

The mechanisms of the inotropic effect of mitoxantrone (MTO), a synthetic dihydroxyanthracenedione derivative with antineoplastic activity, was investigated in guinea pig ventricular myocytes using whole-cell patch-clamp methods combined with fura-2 fluorescence and cell-edge tracking techniques. In right ventricular papillary muscles, 30 microM MTO increased isometric force of contraction as w...

A rhenium-oxo complex such as methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) has been homogeneously immobilized on a Schiff base modified graphene oxide (GrO) support via covalent bonding. The loading of MTO on GrO nanosheets was monitored by FTIR, TG-DTA, and elemental analyses. The developed heterogeneous catalyst is found to be efficient for the oxidation of various amines to the corresponding N-oxides using hyd...

BACKGROUND Using positron emission tomography (PET), we compared two tracers, [11C]metomidate ([11C]MTO) and [11C]acetate ([11C]ACE), for the characterization of hepatic tumors. METHODS Thirty-three patients underwent PET with [11C]MTO and [11C]ACE and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Based on the histology of the tumor biopsy, 14 patients had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 9 patients had f...

Methanol-to-olefin (MTO) catalysis is a very active field of research because there is a wide variety of sometimes conflicting mechanistic proposals. An example is the ongoing discussion on the initial C-C bond formation from methanol during the induction period of the MTO process. By employing a combination of solid-state NMR spectroscopy with UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and mass s...

The presented report focuses on an in-depth detailed characterization of immobilized methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), giving catalysts with a wide spectra of utilization. The range of mesoporous materials with different SiO₂/Al₂O₃ ratios, namely mesoporous alumina (MA), aluminosilicates type Siral (with Al content 60%-90%) and MCM-41, were used as supports for immobilization of MTO. The tested suppor...
